Man Charged With Carrying Weapon

POMPANO — A Pompano Beach man was arrested Wednesday after a patrolman caught him hiding a stolen handgun under his clothing, police said.

David Alphonso McMillon, 34, of the 600 block of Northwest 15th Avenue, was charged with carrying a concealed firearm, grand theft and resisting arrest, police said.

An officer was patrolling the 1600 block of Hammondville Road when he noticed McMillon on the side of the street, yelling at another man. The officer said he also saw a bulge that looked like a gun in McMillon`s right front pocket.

Fearing for the other man`s safety and his own, the officer told McMillon to put his hands in the air. The man refused and later refused to put his hands on the patrol car, police said.

McMillon was restrained when backup units arrived. Police said the gun was retrieved and found to be stolen, having been reported to the Broward Sheriff`s Office three years ago.
